Baby Proofing Khaleesi's new HOME!


Childproofing your home is essential to keeping your baby safe. The El Paso Zoo staff has been hard at work baby proofing the orangutan exhibit for new parents Ibu and Butch!



Zoo keeper Tasha tests out the new tires swing during the “baby-proofing” of the orangutan exhibit. (She might be having too much fun to call it “work,” right?) Volunteer Susie donated this tire swing from Ibu’s baby registry. It is going to be so fun to watch Khaleesi swing on it!

If you’ve ever been a parent, you can probably remember identifying your home's hazards and making it a safe place to roam. Zoo staff has reconstructed much of the orangutan exhibit, making sure all the structures were baby-safe for Khaleesi.

Now that the exhibit is ready, the keepers have begun introducing Ibu and Khaleesi to baby’s new habitat.
